21. Patrick's Secondary Form
After that explosion, smoke appeared around the spot, later revealing that Spongebob co. made it just fine.
"Has that guy gone berserk?" Squidward said.
"It's just a conspiracy," said Titan, "What's best is that we're safe."
"Also that we're perfectly normal," Spongebob added.
"And I guess my break is over now, isn't it?" Umbriel added.
"Surely, since it's almost tomorrow," said Titan. "And who knows if you'll have a second one." Spongebob and co. then walked back to their hotel. Then, the scene goes to Solid Shell and Sao.
"I don't really think I deserve being on this team," said Sao.
"Of course you do, you make a good solider, private," said Solid Shell.
"If we're done, can I quit?" Sao asked, "Also, where in the ocean are we, and what's going to be done?"
"I can still track them down, they're in some place called Asteroid Coast," said Solid Shell, "They're not going to hide any longer."
"But we did end up losing two Pisconarchs," said Sao.
"Since when did you turn into my computer wife?" Solid Shell replied.
"Okay then, since I'm supposed to help, would it be obvious if I said that I already found them?" Sao replied, "I assume that they're in that hotel over there."
"That's perfect…" said Solid Shell.
THE NEXT MORNING…
"Hmm…another fantastic day," said Titan, "Okay everybody, it's time…" then Titan realizes something's wrong. Spongebob, Umbriel, Candy, and Squidward were nowhere to be seen. "I can't believe something like that could happen that fast."
"Oh, good morning Titan," said Sandy who just got up.
"So you're here, and Patrick's still here," Titan examined.
"What are you talking about?" Sandy questioned.
"Where is everybody?!" Titan exclaimed.
Patrick then gets up and says, "What is all this yelling? I'm trying to sleep…"
"It's just the three of us Patrick," Titan explained, "I don't know what happened to the others."
"So Spongebob's gone missing?" Patrick asked, "We should save him!"
"That is correct, the first thing we should do is look around town," Titan replied, and then the three go outside.
"Hey, there's a note on that door," said Sandy.
"Weird," Titan then reads the note, "Dear extra terrestrial suspects, I could barely keep an eye on you guys, but now that I'm finally here, I have captured some of your friends and you must meet me by evening to show yourself as what people call "Moon Warriors," signed Solid Shell."
"Uh…who's Solid Shell?" Patrick asked.
"I can't put my finger on it," said Titan, "So now what we should do?"
"I can discuss my terms with Sandy since we have a lot of time, it will take a while," said Patrick and goes behind the hotel with Sandy.
"What do you want to talk to me about?" Sandy said confused.
"It's about me, and maybe Yin. Do you think something special will happen to me?" Patrick asked.
"Wow Patrick, it seems that you would rely on me for some advice, but that day when I was given an alternative, I was lucky while Phobos shot me with that ray. Also, I have nothing for you about Yin," Sandy replied.
"Come on Sandy, I'm about 22 and I think it's okay for something who's light years older than me," Patrick replied.
"You're not ready for that yet. If it's an alternative you want, you must work harder, maybe Yin will tell you how. And you're kind of sounding smarter for these two minutes…"
"I was smart?"
End of the discussion, Patrick and Sandy go back to Titan.
"Okay then," said Titan, "If Solid Shell wants a fight, it will be no problem, and he doesn't have powers after all."
"But what if he does?" Sandy questioned.
"We'll find out when the day passes," said Titan.
The time passes and it was now three in the afternoon, during the scene where Patrick was, Yin suddenly teleports there.
"Yin, you're here without Yang, does this mean I have more practice?" Patrick asked.
"Hmm…pretty much," said Yin.
Then the scene goes to a small battle field with Patrick and Yin an hour later.
"Wait a minute Yin, how is this practice if…" said Patrick.
"It's not nighttime, correct. I could at least make you learn another move," said Yin.
"How does it go?" Patrick questioned.
"You won't get it yet, but it's a shield, for defense and some attack," Yin replied, "Pretty simple, you'll get it like with everybody else when they experienced another power."
"I guess you're right."
Sandy then pops up and says, "In front of Yin…your spirit is more vital than I thought, but seriously…our friends just disappeared all of sudden, what could that person want with them?"
"I don't know," said Yin, "Earlier you told me that Solid Shell has done this. All I know is that it's not in any of our records."
"Because he's nothing like you guys?" Sandy asked.
"Perhaps, you both have good luck on finding that certain someone," said Yin.
"But wait…what if something worse happens, other than not winning?" Patrick asked.
"You can do it, and besides, Sandy is with you too," said Yin and teleports back to Pisces Planet.
"Even if she's not there Patrick, don't let yourself down," said Sandy.
"What did I do? I was already fine during those past duels," Patrick responded.
"I can't believe that I'm realizing you're becoming smarter than before, I wonder if my moon powers are making me feel dumb...no I can't say that," said Sandy.
"All I know is that you have pride in your work," Patrick replied.
"We'll talk later, just be prepared," Sandy replied.
The scene was still at the battle field, but Patrick and Sandy fade out and the view was becoming dim, as it was now evening. Solid Shell appeared in his tanks with his captives and Sao.
"Just in time, the others should come out any minute now," said Solid Shell.
"If you could let me in-charge of other things, can I leave now?" Sao asked.
"Meh," said Solid Shell.
Sao then leaves, before Titan, Patrick, and Sandy showed up.
"So you're Solid Shell, can you give us our friends back now?" Sandy asked.
"Not what you would expect," said Solid Shell and activates a bunch of equipment from his tank. "A bunch of weapons I set up for this battle, I challenge you to destroy every piece."
"So you're not going to worry about losing it all?" Titan said.
"Sure, but I doubt you guys will overpower me," said Solid Shell.
"But you're realizing that we have powers and you don't," Titan replied.
"Anyways, what did you do with our friends?" Sandy asked.
"I trapped them in my tank inside a cage that is made up of material that their powers cannot break through," Solid Shell explained.
"You know we have powers?" Sandy asked again.
"What do you think? I've set my organization for an intention. To poach mysterious creatures roaming the place," Solid Shell continued, "and it looks like what people call "Pisconarchs" is what I've been searching for."
"Then you're succeed with your evil proposal, we're ready for a fight," said Titan.
All of a sudden, somebody teleports to the exact spot, it was Deimos.
"Hey, I got bored. Get prepared…hmmm, this must be the first time I'm late," said Deimos.
"Deimos, what are you doing here?" Titan asked.
"I think the question is "what the hell is going on?" Solid Shell said.
"I'm just here because I want a Moon Duel, and that starfish is the one I feel like dealing with," Deimos said, referring to Patrick.
"Well, it's on. Now we can battle, right?" Patrick said.
"With pleasure," said Solid Shell.
The Moon Duel begins and Deimos starts it off with an introduced attack. The ground was crumbling and giving off a bright light, hitting everybody except him. Titan then uses his golden blade and hits Solid Shell's tank, it gave only a few scratches. Solid Shell then uses his various weapons and aims for Titan, Patrick, and Sandy, they dodged most of the time, but got hit a few times. Deimos goes ahead with the same attack, but it misses on Titan and Sandy. Sandy then uses her shuriken attack on Solid Shell's tank, but it didn't do much.
"Hmm, it may look like Deimos only wants to fight me…this will be easy," said Patrick.
Patrick uses his Big Bang attack on Deimos and hits successfully. Titan tries using his seizure blast at Solid Shell's tank. With that, some of the weapons were damaged. Solid Shell continued anyways, and hits Titan with his various weapons. Sandy then uses an aurora blast at Solid Shell this time; the damage was graver than the previous. Solid Shell's tank remains partially damaged while Deimos uses the same attack, hitting everybody, including Solid Shell. The epicenter damages a few more of Solid Shell's weapon controls. Patrick against Deimos again, uses both is nova and dark blast at him, he looked like he wasn't having a problem.
"Very good, but I got this," said Deimos and brings out a ray-gun.
While Titan and Sandy were still trying to demolish Solid Shell, Patrick gazes into for a moment and thinks of the ray-gun Phobos used on Sandy before.
"Of course, that ray-gun must be nothing but advantage, like what happened to Sandy," Patrick said to himself, "I wonder if there's some kind of pattern here..." Patrick, out loud, then says, "Show me what you got!"
"What are you doing Patrick?" Sandy asked.
"Remember the time something happened to you when Phobos hit you with that ray-gun? Deimos has one and I'm going to find out what it will do to me!"
Patrick then gets in the way and Deimos pulls the trigger. Some sort of light was around Patrick and he began having a strange sensation. Patrick then took the appearance of a beast. The next thing he knew that a shield appeared in his hands.
"Alright, he's stronger now, right?" Sandy said.
For Solid Shell's gape upon Patrick, he just gives a 0_0 expression.
"Something's wrong with these things," Deimos said about his ray-gun, "Hell with this, I'm about to lose anyways."
Patrick then tosses around his shield and critically hits Deimos. Patrick then uses one of his blasts to finish him.
"A bit stronger than I thought…" Sandy added.
"Hmmm, so you have defeated me Patrick, there's nothing else I can do, but I'll just make my escape," said Deimos and teleports out of the battlefield.
Patrick then smashes Solid Shell's tank until it was completely destroyed. After that, the others were caged inside; Patrick's alternate powers free them.
"Woah, is that supposed to be Patrick?" Spongebob said.
"Damn it," said Solid Shell, "Once I get things upgraded, I'll be dealing with you all another time," he then runs off, leaving the scene. Patrick then reverts to his actual self.
"What just happened?" Patrick asked.
"You've proven something right when Deimos hit you with that ray-gun," said Sandy.
"And like Sandy did last time, you got yourself a necklace," said Titan.
"Things are getting weird," said Patrick.
"Yep, we stopped Solid Shell and you defeated Deimos," said Titan, "Tomorrow, we pack up for the next moon we will revive."
"I'll be waiting," said Spongebob.
